Even by the time I was four or five, I had Gene Autry records.

The Stones were nasty and ugly and doing songs I was familiar with.

By many peoples' standards, my playing is very primitive but by punk standards, I'm a virtuoso.

From '69 til '76, I never played in public. I would play by myself at home.

Reading music is something that's inherently hateful to me. It makes music like mathematics.

My playing started to develop through the Miles Davis stuff I was listening to.

I saw Suicide in '74 and it was pretty horrifying.
